Good for it's day. Now, the cost of its ability would have to be R for it to be worth playing.

Ahhh, Mr. Strider. We had some good times. You were my beat stick when I first started playing and my collection was an Ice Age tourney pack.
Nowadays a reprint would actually be R+G: +1/+1, +2/-2, or +2/+2 depending on what rarity they wanted to give it.

We all thought he sucked back when Ice Age came out. Green players used Erhnam Dijinn, Force of Nature and the such over this, even when playing red/green we'd rather use our elf and bird mana on a Shivan or something instead of this.
But as for beginners go yeah I can see the appeal.

Love the art, and the multicolor pump cost.
Probably decent for its time, although it really should have been +1/+1. Oh well.

This is passable for a common, even today. In innistrad draft, I would take this over kindercatch.

One of the better Doug Shuler arts. His grin wins.

Fine for a limited card.
Also, the flavor text boggles me, somewhat. Is the Strider some sort of sacred beast and Freyalise is forbidding strangers near it out of religious decree? Is Freyalise protecting strangers from the viciousness of the beastly Yeti and the decree is a more practical one? Or is it instead something like "God forbid" and since Freyalise is the goddess of the forest-dwellers of Terisiare, that's a popular exclamation?

That face makes the card worth playing. Imagine losing to that face.
